Deskripsi
<p>Abstract</p> <p>The B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 11B (BCL11B) gene is a member of the BCL family which plays a crucial role in the development, proliferation, differentiation and subsequent survival of T cells. BCL11B gene alterations are related to malignant T cell transformation that occurs in hematological malignancies. Remarkably, the BCL11B gene is responsible for the regulation of the apoptotic process and cell proliferation. This review summarizes current data and knowledge concerning the alteration of BCL11B in hematological malignancies and its role as a potential target for therapies directed against T cell malignancies.</p>
